Beachwood, Ohio-based DDR Corp. announced Thursday about the installation of the third Tesla Supercharger station located at Hamilton Marketplace in Hamilton.

According to the announcement, the new station is one of three throughout the nation where the station has been activated at a DDR shopping center, following Virginia and Ohio.

“We are very proud of our relationship with Tesla and look forward to expanding our involvement across the country as Tesla seeks to broaden its charging network,” said Joe Tichar, senior vice president of corporate operations at DDR, in a prepared statement.

The station will allow Model S owners to recharge their vehicles for free while traveling between cities along major highways in the U.S.

The Hamilton Marketplace is a 1 million-square-foot retail center located along Interstate 195 and U.S. 30. The property is 100 percent leased and anchored by retailers including Walmart, Kohl’s, BJ’s, Lowe’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, PetSmart, Michaels, Old Navy and Pier 1 Imports, the announcement said.
